Description
At Bletchley Park, a top-secret Code & Cypher School was working to crack Germany's Enigma codes. This remarkable story reveals the daily lives of those who contributed to the war effort, from code breakers to engineers and service personnel. The transcripts of 200 interviews and memoirs bring to life the experiences of the people who worked at Bletchley Park, including their recruitment, training, working conditions, and time off. The book explores how the stressful burden of secrecy created divisions within the organisation, and how many felt disappointed at being forbidden from speaking about their work until much later. A selection of archive photographs and illustrations accompanies the text, drawn from the Bletchley Park Trust Archive and personal albums of those stationed at Bletchley. This book provides a unique insight into one of the most vital undercover operations of World War II, shedding light on the people behind the code-breaking efforts that shortened the war by at least two years.
